Get Together to Get it Together

So today while causally folding my laundry I met a man and the conversation I had with this man served as the inspiration for this post.

On this walk with Christ I have met various people with various reasons for not serving God. One of those famous excuses is "You don't have to attend church to be holy/righteous/have a relationship with God..." There is some truth to this statement because my righteousness does not come from my church, but from Jesus Christ. Yet, my service to him is linked to and supported by the church. 

Whatever you're into there's a group for it, whether you grow cherry tomatoes or sew sweaters for zebras there is an appointed time in which you get together with other people with like passions and discuss how to become better at what you do, proclaim your love for what you do, and encourage each other to keep doing it, so how could going to church not be a part of cultivating a relationship with Christ. 

When we gather together on Sundays that is exactly what we do: discuss how to become better Christians, proclaim our love for Christ, and encourage others to keep on pressing on. This is essential to the believers walk especially at a time like this as Hebrews 10:25 says, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching". 


The church is the foundation of truth. If you have been wronged by a church or church member please don't let man's simplicity, sinful nature, and weak arm of flesh prove to be strong enough to keep you from God.  There is nothing like fellowship with your brethren for where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus he is in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20) . We have to get together to get it together.


Peace and Blessings from the Most High God Jesus Christ!
